Condition grade 10/10 (New surplus). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 8 lengths · 150×150×3.6m.

About this lot

Square-edged beams from a barn-conversion job. Excellent for exposed structural work, lintels and pergolas. Located in Manchester — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 6 days ago by Manchester Greenfield Contractors, a contractor based in Manchester.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As new surplus it is indistinguishable from merchant stock except for the price.

Carbon & sustainability notes

The 112 kg CO₂e figure on this listing is calculated against felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber).

Put another way — about 661 km of driving emissions, or 5 tree-years of carbon uptake.

If your project tracks embodied carbon (BREEAM, Part Z readiness, or client ESG reporting), keep this listing reference as evidence of avoided emissions.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Manchester premises — pallet truck on site; tail-lift vehicles recommended.
  • Seller can quote hiab or flatbed delivery within ~60 miles of Manchester; from £50.
  • Ask the seller for close-up photos or a video walkround if you can't visit — they expect the request.

Typical applications

  • Feature cladding, shelving and furniture (reclaimed boards)

  • Formwork, hoarding and site protection

Questions about this lot

Is this timber structurally graded?+

Where the listing states a grade (C16/C24) the stamp is on the timber. Reclaimed boards from Manchester Greenfield Contractors are sold for non-structural use unless re-graded by an inspector.

Will reclaimed boards have nails in them?+

The seller has metal-detected the stock; expect the odd missed fixing — budget 1 saw blades for a lot this size and check with a detector before machining.

How should I store it before use?+

Keep it stick-stacked, off the ground and under cover, and let it acclimatise on site for 7–14 days before fixing internally.
